MIDDLETOWN — Middletown’s Common Council has extended, until May 21, a moratorium requiring new projects downtown to go before the council instead of the Planning Board for approval.

The original law was passed in November and expired March 31. City officials said at the time that the purpose was to make sure downtown wasn’t saturated with too many similar-type businesses while the city updated its zoning regulations.
